Clinical psychology
My research in neuroimaging and neuropsychology has a common focus: to develop research-driven approaches that can be implemented clinically to better understand and assess neuropsychological conditions. Specifically, my research uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, including functional (fMRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DTI), to study the brain-behavior relationship in patient populations and in healthy aging.Respect for Diversity: It is my intent that students from diverse backgrounds and perspectives be well-served, and that the diversity that students bring be viewed as a resource, strength and benefit.
